21Jul Cheap counter weight for the 3 legged DSLR RIG
I had some extra time this afternoon so I stopped by a local hardware store to see if I could find a counter weight solution for the 3 legged DSLR rig. The guy at the store pointed me to the hardware section, where I dug around for the biggest, heaviest washers I could find. I […]
20Jul SUMPOD 3D PRINTER on Indie GOGO.
I can safely say that my 3d printer is probably one of the most useful things I have around the house. An Idea can turn into a handy little peace of plastic in as little as an hour. The makerbot I use is on the higher price side of things at around $1300, but a […]
20Jul DSLR Filmmaker Tool kit app for the iphone.
Now that the iphone is on both Verizon and AT&T networks, it’s a very common thing to have laying around. The DSLR Filmmaker tool kit turns the iphone into a handy little shot logger, depth of field calculator, and digital slate. It could be something handy to have around if you’re trying to find an easy way […]
19Jul 3 legged DSLR movie Rig loaded up.
I have 2 weeks of Hotel life left ahead of me. I’ve spent the last few nights messing around with that 3 legged adjustable camera rig I brought with me. I’ve finally found a configuration that I feel comfortable with for shoulder work. The configuration above has the Sony CLM v55 monitor mounted on the left hand grip, a […]
18Jul Great low price Field recorder test.
Scott over at theFrugalFilmaker.com has a great write up on sub $100 hand held field recorders. 6 tests in total, with audio samples to help you decide what low price field recorder is right for you. I personal use the Zoom h1 and Tascam DR-05, but there are a lot of new options showing up […]
17Jul Zoom H2n Announced.
Thanks to Yiannis for pointing this out to me. Looks like Zoom is releasing an updated version of the H2 portable field recorder. The new model called the Zoom H2n has a few interesting updates, including a screen very similar to its bigger brother (Zoom H4n), 4 track recording using 4 built in mics, a proper […]
15Jul Taking the 3 legged adjustable DSLR RIG on the road.
I found out this morning that I’ll be in Sacramento CA for the next 2 weeks. I haven’t really had a chance to play around with that 3 legged adjustable dslr rig I picked up a few weeks back so I figured if it fit in my camera bag i’d take it with me. I was surprised to […]
14Jul Empty monitor space on the Sony CLM v55 with Canon DSLRS.
I finally had a some time this evening to run a few proper tests with the Sony CLM V55 monitor and go through the menus. I will admit that I have a little bit of buyers remorse. Although the image is crisp and the colors look very good the monitor has no stretch or adjustment […]
14Jul Juicedlink DS214 adapters are finally available.
The DS214 adapter is finally back. The demand has been so good for the Zoom H1 shock mount that I didn’t have enough down time on my makerbot to test and print the new design until a few nights ago. The new DS214 design has a few hard to notice changes mostly to do with […]
13Jul Lilliput 5 inch 569GL hdmi monitor.
I ended up getting a great deal on the Sony CLM v55 monitor, but there is a cheaper option if you’re looking to save a little money and like the idea of a smaller 5 inch monitor. The Lilliput 5 inch 569GL HDMI monitor comes with an HDMI cable, cold shoe adapter, battery adapter, and […]
